Abstract:Spintronics has attracted wide attention by promising novel functionalities derived from both the electron charge and spin. While branching into new areas and creating new themes over the past years, the principal goals remain the spin and magnetic control of the electrical propertiesessentially the I-V characteristics-and vice versa. There are great challenges ahead to meet these goals. One challenge is to find niche applications for ferromagnetic semiconductors, such as GaMnAs. Another is to develop further … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
